When Vanessa posted that video, recommending English learners to subscribe those channels, first channel i searched was this channel but it wasn't in the mentioned channels.
Ariannita is not making mistakes, she is inventing her own version of American English. *A RIDE* is a stative verb?? This is mind boggling. Is she nuts?
In my case, I really care about improving my English, and I truly appreciate when others correct me, especially when they do it for free and in a respectful way. Kevin even goes the extra mile to help them with corrections!
Lucy is really amazing. I do believe that she is one of the best on YT... And her voice and accent are beautiful ❤🎉.... Obviously she has her blunders too😢😂
Thank you for putting great effort into teaching us the "correct" English. Using correct English matters to me. I do appreciate you. Thank you very much. Have a blessed day.
Dear techer Kevin 😊 you're without a shadow of a dout an outstanding and great teacher. Your way of breaking down confusing vocabulary ect. is absolutly amazing😊 I think there's no need to take aim at Vanessa..she's also a native speaker doing an axcellent work.. you have a lot in common..maybe she didn't research the content of all these UA-cam teachers..
Great video! Thank you for spotting and correcting the mistakes. I can't understand why some people are mad with that. This effort is time consuming and cares about english teaching more than any channel.
This is what Cambridge dictionary says about these two expressions. It's a more detailed information. Made from We often use made from when we talk about how something is manufactured: Plastic is made from oil. The earliest canoes were made from tree trunks. Made out of We usually use made out of when we talk about something that has been changed or transformed from one thing into another: In the 1970s, it was popular to have candle-holders made out of wine bottles. They were living in tents made out of old plastic sheets. There's a difference in meaning here. It's a good explanation. Not always but quite often you tend not to pay attention to the context of the word used. As a native speaker of another language, I can surely affirm that we as native speakers know the language intuitively. That's why I think that the informal register that we use everyday may be not in accord with the formal register. (academic).
Given that you are a native speaker of another language, you fail to understand speakers are the ones who make the language, not the dictionary,. The dictionary is not up-to-date. The distinction you pose might've been true at a certain point, but native speakers make no distinction now. Nice try.
@@guillermo4687 Down to earth dear native speaker. You should know that dictionaries are not made on their own. Linguists make a great effort, studying the way the English language functions in different contexts or situations. If you use a word in a specific way in your region or country, that doesn't mean that your usage is right or wrong. Dictionaries are not made just "simply" the "right way", they are made complex and varied. Speakers are the ones who make the changes naturally, totally agree, but linguists compile from all the English speaking countries the information related to a word or expression in "one basket" and give a good explanation of the way it's used. In the UK or the USA an expression or a word may have a different meaning. You may get in trouble in the US or the UK if you use a word that's not accepted by that culture or people around, even though in your town it's well accepted.
"DICTIONARIES" definitely are an excellent reference for learning what the correct things are and definitions BUT. # We also got to be acquainted with the way native English speakers speak in real life, just like Kevin said once in one of his videos.
The problem with synonyms is that it makes sense to first learn the most commonly used ones by real native speakers, and only then fill your memory with the less commonly used ones. A teacher may praise us for knowing a rare word, and this is encouraged when testing for advanced levels, but it is useful to distinguish which synonyms are actually used often and which are rarely used. I also think the problem is that when we learn a word from a dictionary, we may choose to memorize the synonyms that we like more than those that are used often. As a result, it will sound unnatural when communicating in an English-speaking environment. Perhaps representatives of different non-English-speaking nations choose different favorite synonyms, and this is partly the reason why their speech is so jarring to Kevin's ear. And for these teachers whom he criticizes, those words and ways of pronunciation are dialectisms normal in their community. But it gives you away among native speakers.
I took over 5 hours to watch all of them and took notes. Does anyone else do the same? There are some repeated clips and some replayed clips in this video, so it is quite long. I just had to treat them as a review. I hope we can have less repeated and less replayed clips in the videos of this channel. Thanks Kevin !!
Also, since I've seen it written in the comments below... I'd love for you to explain if you believe NOT TO and TO NOT are both correct. Example: I was told NOT TO go out vs I was told TO NOT go out. Some teachers say TO NOT is incorrect, some say it's a way to emphasize something. Maybe you could shed some light on this matter?
Both "not to" and "to not" (split infinitive) are grammatically correct, but they're used in slightly different ways: "Not to" (more common and traditional): - "I was told not to go out" - "He decided not to attend the meeting" - "They asked me not to tell anyone" "To not" (split infinitive, used for emphasis): - "I try to not worry about it" - "She decided to not participate" - "I chose to not respond to his email" The "to not" form is often used when you want to emphasize the negative aspect or make the negative choice more deliberate. Examples showing the subtle difference: "I told him not to go" (simple instruction) vs "I told him to not go" (emphasizes the deliberate choice of staying) Both forms are acceptable in modern English, though some traditionalists prefer avoiding split infinitives ("to not"). The choice often depends on what sounds more natural in the specific context and what you want to emphasize.
Both expressions are correct, No matter if you wanna emphasize or not and sometimes even the context. BUT The most used one is "NOT TO" like in this example; - I prefer NOT TO go to the beach. Or. - I prefer TO NOT go to the beach. # Both expressions convey the same idea or message. But something we gotta take into account is the fact that according to the rule; the word "not" must not be put between the preposition "to" and the main verb "go" in this case, BUT, sometimes natives don't obey their mother tongue's grammatical rules.
I already know and use the words; "doubtless" and "undoubtedly" instead of "indubitable" and "indubitably". I guess they're all synonyms but "indubitable and indubitably" are very formal words that you can find only in formal and academic texts.
I find your videos funny and informative. It's more entertainment than real analisis the way the language works. I would like a more detailed and thorough examination of the words used. For ex. "Out of" seems to me (I may be wrong) more posh, academic. "From"- seems to be more informal when we talk about something made out of smth. We hear different "englishes" on the net, but Lucy imho is oriented towards those who are thinking of passing a test. Cambridge Exam is considered to be quite difficult for ESL learners that's why I tend to think she tries to teach them British English (which is so varied and different, not to mention American, Australian or Canadian English) and specifically for exams (formal).
As a native English speaker, that " make me a favor" I found it shit weird ! Me and peeps around me have never used it , not for all I know Lmao 😅😂😂😂 Ariannita should get back to Elementary.
I have a Cambridge C2 level in English, but there's something I've never fully understood, and if possible, I'd love for you to explain it, Kevin. It's about the prepositions AT and ON in expressions like: He threw a fit AT me, I hate being talked at like children vs. He sprung a last-minute meeting ON me, Don't push your opinions ON me, he went off ON me... Also, why She lashed out ON him after a stressful day can also be said He lashed out AT him after a stressful day.
- He threw a fit at me. = he attacked me verbally. - I hate being talked at like children. = you don't like people talk to you as if you were a child. - he sprung a last-minute meeting on me = he told me I had to go to a meeting but at the last moment. - Don't push your opinions on me. = don't make or force me to think just like you. - he went off on me. = he got mad at me. - she lashed out ON (AT) him. = she attacked him.
That was a great video lesson, with a review of a lot of mistakes these fake reachers dare teach. # What surprises me is that Lucy said all that. # I'm not against strategies to attract subscribers BUT in my opinion, THAT ONE AIN'T APPROPRIATE AT ALL.
I made a mistake is a neutral statement. I did make a mistake is used to emphasize that you actually did make the mistake, for example if the person you're talking to assumed you didn't make any mistakes
I have improved a lot my english with this channel and I will keep it up❤ but i feel bad for the girls 😢they are trying to do their best. You are damaging their channels. it's not fear. That's my opinion
While I acknowledge the value of using mistakes as a teaching tool, excessive nitpicking over minor errors only creates confusion and impedes progress. Additionally, it’s clear that Lucy incorporates humor and sarcasm intentionally to make her lessons more engaging and memorable. Personally, I find her approach far more effective than the dry methods you promote. It seems that you're using her reputation, alongside constant nitpicking, to attract a broader audience for your own channel. I’m aware you may delete this comment in an effort to maintain your authoritative image, but that only reflects poorly on you. :)
On the one hand I agree with you. They are too nit picky sometimes, especially when it comes to pronunciation (in my opinion). But the thing is, the WHOLE UA-cam is full of "don't use very", "don't use blah blah", and they do this to get more views. These statements themselves are too strong, like "DON'T". Not "Hey, instead of very hot you CAN say ...", but instead you'll see "NEVER USE HOT". And this became irritating. It doesn't sound like a humor especially when non-native speakers (btw Lucy is good, I like her, I haven't seen these videos) keep on making these teasing headlines. All the time. Gosh, it's not "Don't say...", it's "If you want to emphasize ..." or something like that, but not strict DON'T.
If I followed all of these lessons, here how I would speak English: Greetings, I am Victor, a denizen of a relatively diminutive municipality known as Yerevan, the esteemed capital of Armenia. Although I am not a native Anglophone, I am inclined to expound upon the laudable attributes of my locale. Despite its modest dimensions, the city is remarkably commodious and well-facilitated. The sole drawback, however, lies in the oppressively torrid climate that prevails during the estival months.
You MIGHT be right in part of the comment you texted. BUT. The strategy she uses ain't appropriate buddy 'cause it leads to confusion for the subscribers and in the long run it affects subscribers and Lucy herself.
@@fredylopez2477Buddy, everyone (except Kevin) can tell from her facial expressions, mannerisms, and way of speaking that she means "use diverse vocabulary, not just words like 'very', 'said', or 'thing'" . Moreover, the definition of 'perilous' is 'very risky'. It's a different matter when considering in which situations you use the word, but he continues to describe it as 'very dangerous'. It's clear that you can't always substitute 'very dangerous' with 'perilous'. Additionally, the difference between 'made of', 'made out of', 'made with', and 'made from' is explained in the Cambridge Dictionary. Maybe native speakers aren't familiar with these grammatical rules, but that doesn't mean she's wrong. He is using them as evidence to prove his point. Not to mention, she teaches British English while he teaches American English, and he uses American native speakers to discredit her. All in all, he's using underhanded nitpicking tactics to tarnish her reputation, so people like you will stop watching her videos and start following his dull, robotic teaching style, which doesn't enhance memorability in any way.
Hi! I want to take up advanced spoken english course along with written and advance vocabulary means to say C2 level. What are the charges and please send the full details of the course as your website is not opening. Thanku
It's not a smart move from Vanessa to grap attention in my opinion !!. What are Kevin and Liza doing something very helpful for English-learner specialy non-native. They have been trying to help non-native, avoiding these mistakes. That means NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE. (Period)
I think you meant to say; - "What Kevin and Liza are doing is something very helpful for English learnerS, specially non-nativeS". They have been trying to help non-nativeS AVOID these mistakes
Spanish is my first language, and I sometimes watch your videos because I feel like they teach me something. But with this one, honestly, I think you've gone overboard with all the perfectionism. Who cares if in 'acrophobia,' the first 'o' is pronounced like a short 'u' or like 'ou'? Nah man, you're totally barking up the wrong tree
@@philipm5043they re native as well, from my perspective, it s ridiculous try to be "perfect" while speaking a language even if it's your native one, it s much better enjoying the process than have a terrible headache speaking as if it was the most fundamental thing. It seems to me that here exist hate against those content creators who are dedicating their time making videos for all of us. I'm seeing coming a virtual war. Anyways thanks all of you guys investing your time to make videos to everybody in here
@@kevinvisney then where do you draw the line of perfection? Not everyone is at the same level. Im sure Kevin's viewership ranges from absolute beginners to those who are already quite advanced and are seeking perfection. It doesn't hurt to put out content for everyone. It's called English for everyone for a reason.
@@kevinvisney and you don't know what "native" means. A native english speaker is someone who was born and raised in a primarily English speaking country.
@@kevinvisneyI'm subscribed to a channel called Speech Modification. The lady who runs it is pretty down-to-earth and teaches pronunciation in such a kind and approachable way. I really like how her videos are simple but effective. Personally, the vibe I get from the two UA-camrs on this channel we're talking about here is quite different-they seem a bit cold and not very empathetic, especially her. She comes across as a bit cocky, if you know what I mean, with that super irritating vocal fry.
In my opinion, good-looking ladies can easily attract UA-cam audiences. They don't actually need deep knowledge of English or to be native English speakers to teach on social media. Audiences need to make their own decision.
Is this the profile of this channel, to point out the mistakes of other channel owners? Of course, it’s hard to pronounce things well if you're not a native speaker, but ruining another channel’s reputation is morally unacceptable. It would be great if you could find another way to grow your channel, dude!
@@kovoliver honestly I think most of the content they make is great. Some of these "English teachers" make horrendous mistakes and people should be aware of that. You can learn a lot from these videos cause a lot of non-native English speakers make similar mistakes. I think they should just focus more on the mistakes instead of the people making them. And I also don't understand what they have against Lucy.
I believe that drawing attention to common mistakes does not require mentioning the names and activities of other instructors. This channel seems to take advantage of the popularity and recognition of the aforementioned instructors, which, I repeat, is not necessary for teaching. It is entirely possible to explain these concepts without referencing other UA-cam channels.
@@kovoliver Yes that's true, but I also think what they do is useful for beginner and intermediate learners to understand which channels they can trust and which they can't. I agree that they're going a bit overboard, though
And Do you think that it's morally acceptable to teach subscribers a lot of nonsense and stupidities which aren't correct English and getting paid for that. They're growing their channel by correcting mistakes from others who pretend to be teachers when they're not.They BELIEVE they are just because they speak the language (wrongly of course). - I guess K&L ain't trying to badmouth anybody, they're just teaching correct English no matter the method
@@kovoliver If you don't know who teaches those nonsense you're gonna keep on watching that channel and making the same mistakes all the time, think about that.
Isn't it excessive now? Is this really the only purpose of your channel? I believe it's time to stop overcorrecting mistakes that most people don’t care about. And please, do not block me from commenting.
@@kevinvisney The fact is that English learners want to speak fluently first. This is the reality. These two teachers should focus on this. Also, even if it is bad, it is again advertising.
In my opinion, good-looking ladies can easily attract UA-cam audiences. They don't actually need deep knowledge of English or to be native English speakers to teach on social media. Audiences need to make their own decision.
For examinations, I think Lucy is the best. I came across an mcq on made of, made from, and etc. a few times. It was confusing. If you use low frequency words, you'll get better a mark/grade. In everyday conversations, I prefer to use 'very'. For everyday American English, Kevin and Liza that I would go to. There's another yt teacher, i think her name is also Lisa. British, I think letthemtalk, and my recent fav. one is high level listening where British and American are explained side by side.
As a native speaker "Make a favor" indeed hurt my ear....
I know
Liza and Kelvin are The best teachers for me!Thanks a lot❤
I would just say thea are REAL teachers or NORMAL, FAIR teachers, as oppose to those, who pretend to be teachers :)

Additionally, it’s clear that Lucy incorporates humor and sarcasm intentionally to make her lessons more engaging and memorable. Personally, I find her approach far more effective than the dry methods you promote. It seems that you're using her reputation, alongside constant nitpicking, to attract a broader audience for your own channel.
I’m aware you may delete this comment in an effort to maintain your authoritative image, but that only reflects poorly on you. :)
On the one hand I agree with you. They are too nit picky sometimes, especially when it comes to pronunciation (in my opinion).
But the thing is, the WHOLE UA-cam is full of "don't use very", "don't use blah blah", and they do this to get more views. These statements themselves are too strong, like "DON'T". Not "Hey, instead of very hot you CAN say ...", but instead you'll see "NEVER USE HOT".
And this became irritating. It doesn't sound like a humor especially when non-native speakers (btw Lucy is good, I like her, I haven't seen these videos) keep on making these teasing headlines.
All the time. Gosh, it's not "Don't say...", it's "If you want to emphasize ..." or something like that, but not strict DON'T.
If I followed all of these lessons, here how I would speak English:
Greetings, I am Victor, a denizen of a relatively diminutive municipality known as Yerevan, the esteemed capital of Armenia. Although I am not a native Anglophone, I am inclined to expound upon the laudable attributes of my locale. Despite its modest dimensions, the city is remarkably commodious and well-facilitated. The sole drawback, however, lies in the oppressively torrid climate that prevails during the estival months.
100% agree with you
You MIGHT be right in part of the comment you texted.
BUT.
The strategy she uses ain't appropriate buddy 'cause it leads to confusion for the subscribers and in the long run it affects subscribers and Lucy herself.
@@fredylopez2477Buddy, everyone (except Kevin) can tell from her facial expressions, mannerisms, and way of speaking that she means "use diverse vocabulary, not just words like 'very', 'said', or 'thing'" . Moreover, the definition of 'perilous' is 'very risky'. It's a different matter when considering in which situations you use the word, but he continues to describe it as 'very dangerous'. It's clear that you can't always substitute 'very dangerous' with 'perilous'.
Additionally, the difference between 'made of', 'made out of', 'made with', and 'made from' is explained in the Cambridge Dictionary. Maybe native speakers aren't familiar with these grammatical rules, but that doesn't mean she's wrong. He is using them as evidence to prove his point. Not to mention, she teaches British English while he teaches American English, and he uses American native speakers to discredit her.
All in all, he's using underhanded nitpicking tactics to tarnish her reputation, so people like you will stop watching her videos and start following his dull, robotic teaching style, which doesn't enhance memorability in any way.
Hi! I want to take up advanced spoken english course along with written and advance vocabulary means to say C2 level. What are the charges and please send the full details of the course as your website is not opening.
Thanku
so, who is the best teacher? why is it a 4 hour long video with generic nitpicking?
49:00 When you look at her thumbnails, you'll see "STOP SAYING", but she tells you NOT TO USE "SAID".
It's not a smart move from Vanessa to grap attention in my opinion !!.
What are Kevin and Liza doing something very helpful for English-learner specialy non-native. They have been trying to help non-native, avoiding these mistakes. That means NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE. (Period)
I think you meant to say;
- "What Kevin and Liza are doing is something very helpful for English learnerS, specially non-nativeS".
They have been trying to help non-nativeS AVOID these mistakes
Spanish is my first language, and I sometimes watch your videos because I feel like they teach me something. But with this one, honestly, I think you've gone overboard with all the perfectionism. Who cares if in 'acrophobia,' the first 'o' is pronounced like a short 'u' or like 'ou'?
Nah man, you're totally barking up the wrong tree
These unqualified teachers are finally getting better and Kevin is starting to run out of material.😂
@@philipm5043they re native as well, from my perspective, it s ridiculous try to be "perfect" while speaking a language even if it's your native one, it s much better enjoying the process than have a terrible headache speaking as if it was the most fundamental thing. It seems to me that here exist hate against those content creators who are dedicating their time making videos for all of us. I'm seeing coming a virtual war. Anyways thanks all of you guys investing your time to make videos to everybody in here
@@kevinvisney then where do you draw the line of perfection? Not everyone is at the same level. Im sure Kevin's viewership ranges from absolute beginners to those who are already quite advanced and are seeking perfection. It doesn't hurt to put out content for everyone. It's called English for everyone for a reason.
@@kevinvisney and you don't know what "native" means. A native english speaker is someone who was born and raised in a primarily English speaking country.
@@kevinvisneyI'm subscribed to a channel called Speech Modification. The lady who runs it is pretty down-to-earth and teaches pronunciation in such a kind and approachable way. I really like how her videos are simple but effective. Personally, the vibe I get from the two UA-camrs on this channel we're talking about here is quite different-they seem a bit cold and not very empathetic, especially her. She comes across as a bit cocky, if you know what I mean, with that super irritating vocal fry.
You have to remember Ariannita is not original American.
So she mustn’t be a teacher
2:04 another fake expert. Just like when you search for a best product...
In my opinion, good-looking ladies can easily attract UA-cam audiences. They don't actually need deep knowledge of English or to be native English speakers to teach on social media. Audiences need to make their own decision.
That's right.
Is this the profile of this channel, to point out the mistakes of other channel owners? Of course, it’s hard to pronounce things well if you're not a native speaker, but ruining another channel’s reputation is morally unacceptable. It would be great if you could find another way to grow your channel, dude!
@@kovoliver honestly I think most of the content they make is great. Some of these "English teachers" make horrendous mistakes and people should be aware of that. You can learn a lot from these videos cause a lot of non-native English speakers make similar mistakes. I think they should just focus more on the mistakes instead of the people making them. And I also don't understand what they have against Lucy.
I believe that drawing attention to common mistakes does not require mentioning the names and activities of other instructors. This channel seems to take advantage of the popularity and recognition of the aforementioned instructors, which, I repeat, is not necessary for teaching. It is entirely possible to explain these concepts without referencing other UA-cam channels.
@@kovoliver Yes that's true, but I also think what they do is useful for beginner and intermediate learners to understand which channels they can trust and which they can't. I agree that they're going a bit overboard, though
And Do you think that it's morally acceptable to teach subscribers a lot of nonsense and stupidities which aren't correct English and getting paid for that.
They're growing their channel by correcting mistakes from others who pretend to be teachers when they're not.They BELIEVE they are just because they speak the language (wrongly of course).
- I guess K&L ain't trying to badmouth anybody, they're just teaching correct English no matter the method
@@kovoliver
If you don't know who teaches those nonsense you're gonna keep on watching that channel and making the same mistakes all the time, think about that.
It is not good to highlight the mistakes of other teachers. If you want to teach correct English, you can keep on doing without humilate others.
IT IS OKAY TO HIGHLIGHT THE MISTAKES OF OTHER TEACHERS IF THEY CLAIMED TO BE TEACHERS.
STOP SIMPING.
Isn't it excessive now? Is this really the only purpose of your channel? I believe it's time to stop overcorrecting mistakes that most people don’t care about. And please, do not block me from commenting.
Very well said
I think they re overshading them by correcting these absurd mistakes.
@@kevinvisney The fact is that English learners want to speak fluently first. This is the reality. These two teachers should focus on this. Also, even if it is bad, it is again advertising.
If you wanna speak English fluently, you need to speak correctly.
100% with you
Male teachers are rare but so good
In my opinion, good-looking ladies can easily attract UA-cam audiences. They don't actually need deep knowledge of English or to be native English speakers to teach on social media. Audiences need to make their own decision.
For examinations, I think Lucy is the best. I came across an mcq on made of, made from, and etc. a few times. It was confusing. If you use low frequency words, you'll get better a mark/grade. In everyday conversations, I prefer to use 'very'. For everyday American English, Kevin and Liza that I would go to. There's another yt teacher, i think her name is also Lisa. British, I think letthemtalk, and my recent fav. one is high level listening where British and American are explained side by side.
